What Mundi does

Mundi Trade, Inc. is a digital trade finance platform founded in 2020 that provides working capital solutions to small and medium-sized Mexican exporting companies. The company operates through a fully self-service web platform (mundi.io) and offers three integrated products: Adelanto de Facturas (invoice factoring), Anticipo de Órdenes de Compra (purchase order advances), and Líneas Revolventes (revolving credit lines). These products are designed to convert receivables and orders into immediate liquidity without increasing the customer's debt burden or financial leverage. Mundi serves 500+ exporting businesses in Mexico and reports facilitating transactions to 60+ countries with more than $1 billion in cumulative financing facilitated since inception. The platform integrates with Airwallex for virtual account and cross-border payment services.

The business model is usage-based — customers pay only for the capital received while using it, with no opening or maintenance fees, a structure Mundi brands as 'Paga por lo que usas.' Revenue is generated through interest and fees on funded capital, supported by an underwriting process that leverages CFDI (Mexican electronic invoice) data to assess thin-file SME exporters. Distribution combines a digital-first self-service flow with a Mexico-based local support team reachable via WhatsApp, phone, and email. The company is incorporated in the United States as Mundi Trade, Inc. and is governed by New York law, while its operational footprint and customer base are concentrated in Mexico. Mundi maintains an anti-bribery program aligned with ISO 37001:2016 and discloses a privacy framework covering Mexican LFPDPPP and US FTC Act requirements.

Mundi has raised approximately $38.8 million in disclosed equity across seed and follow-on rounds (2021-2025), led by Base10 Partners, Union Square Ventures, and Haymaker Ventures, with participation from EXOR Ventures, Monex, Asymmetric Capital Partners, Base10, GMO VenturePartners, FJ Labs, and others. In 2021 it also secured a $100 million debt facility from Silicon Valley Bank to capitalize its lending book. The company employs 51-100 people and is led by founders Martin Pustilnick (CEO), Paulina Aguilar Vela (Country Director), Juan Carlos Christensen (CTO), and Sebastian Kontarovsky (Head of Operations).
